2025 69th Class Reunion

2025 69th Class Reunion


Hi Colts!

         Here we go again to have a little gathering together for 2025. This will be our 69th year. Anyway, we are planning on October 9th. a Thursday and will meet at 11:00 AM and stay until around 3 PM, just like last year. We will bring our own sandwiches. Remember Capri Deli, 713 E. San Bernardino or Claro’s Deli, 159 College Ave. for sandwiches if you like that approach. Elaine will probably bring some extra food, I suspect. We will go to the San Bernardino end of the park to the same tables. Bring your drinks but there is water at the park.
